To all whom it may concern:

Be it knownthat I, ARNOLD. F. citizen'of the United States of America,residing at Birmingham, in the, county of J efferson'and State ofAlabama, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil or GasBurning Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improvement in stoves and ranges which areadapted to. be heated byliquid or gaseous fuel burners;

A The object of my invention is to design an oil or gas burning stovewhich will have all of the advantages, .as well as the wide range ofusefulness, of the. stoves and ranges as now designed for burning coaland Wood, and which in' addition thereto will have many other advantageswhich can be derived from the novel'methods which I propose forcontrolling the flow of the products of combustion both aroundandthrough the oven of the stove. V ,2

One object of my invention is to design a stove of this type whichwillhave thegeneral appearance of the hard fuel. burning stoves, the -fuelburners being disposed in the compartment which normally constitutes thefire box and ash-pit and they are arranged under removable lids in thestove top. 'The products of combustion are caused to flow around theoven and enter the stove flue below the oven which is provided in oneside and in its bottom with one or more series of holes which canbeclosed by sliding dampers and which serve to admit the products ofcombustion into the oven so that they will flow therethrough to asupplemental'inlet to the stove'flue near the top of the oven.-Anoveldamper is provided for this supplemental inlet which serves thedouble function of controlling the draft Ehrough both inlet openings tothe stove Another feature of my invention relates to the provision of ahigh warming closet and the provision of suitable dampers to force thehot air into this closet and maintain it at the desired temperature.

My invention also comprises the various novel features of constructionand arrangements of parts which are hereinafter more particularlydescribed and illustrated in their preferred embodiment only, but which,as set forth in the claims, may be widely varied without departing frommy invention. W A
